1 The Status of Knowledge Management in Asia: Results of an APO Survey of Nine Member Countries Serafin D. Talisayon Director for R&D, CCLFI.Philippines This paper will summarize the results of a survey of the status of knowledge management (KM) in nine member countries of the Asian Productivity Organization that APO started in the last quarter of A team of nine national experts met in Bangkok. They undertook the case studies and the national reports were finished in the third quarter of I will also include some insights that I gained from the APO-sponsored International Productivity Conference in 2007 (IPC 2007) on the topic Knowledge Management: From Brain to Business. KM Development across Asia: Uneven What are the findings of these KM surveys? The first observation is that, among APO member countries, the GDP of six is predominantly in services, namely, Japan, India, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. The services sector is knowledge intensive and these are the more advanced countries among the APO member countries. We can see that services to be more specific, knowledge-intensive services will become more and more important for the APO member countries. In fact, the winners of the MAKE Asia Award come mostly from three of these countries (Japan, India and Korea). As Rory Chase points out in his paper, the global MAKE winners in Asia have caught up with their counterparts in Europe, although both Europe and Asia are still behind North America. Another observation is that professional KM associations have been started in a number of APO member countries. This is an indicator of the extent of interest of a group of people who are concerned and dedicated to KM and, to my knowledge, these associations exist in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. Thailand has a government-supported KM institute and Taiwan has a KM research center. A few Asian governments have adopted a national strategy or a national policy towards a knowledge-based economy (KBE) or knowledge-based development (KBD). Government KBE or KBD policy can push forward the development of KM in that country. So far, however, only Japan, India, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore have adopted a national KM roadmap or strategy. My own country, the Philippines, has not, and one of the things that we are doing is pushing our government to do what countries such as India have done. Of course, the other side of the coin is that a number of APO member countries are not so far forward as the others in KM. Specific KM Strengths of Some Asian Countries APO originally wanted to include 10 member countries in the survey, but for some reason could not find a national expert for Japan. We therefore had to proceed without Japan, unfortunately. It is noteworthy that each of the 9 countries has specific strengths. India is definitely the leader in information and communication technology (ICT) support
2 systems for KM. KM practice is especially prevalent in ICT companies, such as UNISYS and Wipro. India has a National Knowledge Commission, and it has a governance model on how to move towards becoming a knowledge-based economy or nation. KM is extensively practiced in Korea. In Korean firms it is no longer a question of whether or not to do KM. The question for them now is how to do KM. KM has been embedded in business processes in many companies, and of course Korea is a leader in e-governance. Singapore is also a leader in e-governance and, in fact, KM practice in the Singapore government is ahead of KM practice in the corporate sector. Singapore is one of the early adopters of a national knowledge economy strategy and KM is applied both for productivity and for innovation. The national productivity organization (NPO) of Singapore includes the word innovation in its name (the Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board), telling everybody that it is no longer just into productivity. It is also concerned with increasing innovation nationwide. In Taiwan, KM is widely accepted and, just as in India, there are very good ICT support systems for KM. It is also very noticeable in Taiwan that there is very active KM support from the government, particularly for small and medium enterprises. Malaysia exemplifies support from a national leader. KM development and KBD are leadership driven: KM from the very top. The Multi-media Super Corridor would not have been there were it not for the push given by former Prime Minister Mahathir. E-commerce and e-governance for the social sector are quite advanced in Malaysia. It is very interesting that Thailand issued a royal decree a few years ago that requires all government agencies to do KM and become learning organizations. Thailand has set up an Office of KM and Development and it supports the KM Institute. In the Philippines, KM in government and in non-governmental organizations is driven by support from development funding institutions. KM development is thus largely donor driven. There are advantages and disadvantages in that situation. One of the leading promoters of KM in the Philippines is the NPO of the Philippines, the Development Academy of the Philippines. Vietnam has government-led initiatives to transform itself into a knowledge-based economy with knowledge-based development. It has exhibited very rapid adoption of productivity and quality management tools. I would expect that, from that base, it will also move on very rapidly to knowledge management. If there is an order from the top, it will be disseminated very quickly. In Indonesia, KM has been disseminated by academia and the private sector. One very interesting thing about Indonesia is that it has MAKE Indonesia. The franchisee, Dunamis, says that the introduction of MAKE Indonesia helped promote an appreciation and awareness of KM nationwide in that country. Some Issues in the Development of KM in Asia One issue in the development of KM in Asia is that there are several very different interpretations and understandings of knowledge management or just the word knowledge. This is going to lead to a lot of confusion. One of the things that APO may have to do is to develop a basic course in KM among NPOs. Thus, I support Mr Praba s suggestion that there must be a basic training program for NPOs, specifically for practitioners. There must also be a common language. APO has a P-Glossary (which can be
3 seen on its website). I think APO should also develop a K-Glossary for KM so that we have a common understanding of words and terms. Another issue is that alignment of knowledge management initiatives to organizational goals is often only implicit. There is a need for a tool or a methodology that will explicitly link KM and organizational goals and value creation. In fact, this is one way to convince a CEO to adopt KM because, if the head of the corporation or organization does not see the direct connection of KM to organizational goals, he or she is unlikely to support KM. There are some APO member countries where KM is not yet as popular and widely practiced as in the others. Here is where we need special assistance. APO has what it calls bilateral cooperation between NPOs, or BCBN. Maybe it is time to have an MBCN, or multilateral cooperation between NPOs. Such a program could address the need for a KM glossary and a training course on KM. There are many approaches in the area of KM measurement. I think this is party because there is no common, agreed-upon framework. Thus the framework project that has been started by APO will be useful for this purpose. There are many gaps in measurement as well as different kinds of measurement. If we can have a very good framework then the measurements can follow. If there are no measures of the impact of KM, people will not be convinced about it. An interesting issue is the relationship between the management of productivity or quality and knowledge management. This is something that is not very clear to many people. We need to be able to understand the linkage between productivity and quality management on the one hand and KM on the other hand. Since APO as a matter of policy has moved to KM and innovation, how do you link the framework of productivity and quality management to a larger framework that will include KM? Setting up a network of KM practitioners in and outside NPOs could further stimulate the development of KM. In my experience, study meetings in APO tend to be attended by different people. Most of them want to learn about KM, but their interests are so diverse that it becomes very difficult to establish a network that can be sustained after the event. If, however, we network the KM practitioners from NPOs who will be staying within these organizations and who have the interest to learn KM and to apply KM there is a greater chance that the network will continue to exist. It should be a self-sustaining network but it has to be supported, especially at the beginning. Through an NPO network of KM practitioners, those NPOs that are not yet fully into KM will have the opportunity to learn from those NPOs that have gone ahead. This will be good for all because there are many countries in Asia that are good at certain things and they will be the ones that can transfer the knowledge to those that are willing to learn. Motivating Knowledge Workers An interesting pattern can be discerned from the case studies: many of the good or best KM practice organizations employ various motivational approaches. For example, setting up an intranet does not ensure that people will use it. In a voluntary network or e-group, participation varies according to interest. People may know how to do their job well, but they may not want or be willing to do it. In addition to managing knowledge assets, the motivation of knowledge workers must also be given attention in KM. The word buy-in is a common and important word in KM. This aspect is essential for the success of KM initiatives: there has to be buy-in, from the top to the bottom of the organization. How do we motivate people to have buy-in? Some examples are given in
4 Table 9.1 Motivating Knowledge Workers: Examples from Asian Case Studies Rewards and recognition Measurable returns Mix of communication modes Design of physical spaces Caring leadership Training and professional growth Peer-to-peer public compliments Honor and recognition as an expert or mentor Overlap between personal and organizational goals Face-to-face interaction, socialization and learning Knowledge Dollar (K$) and Joint President s and CEO s KM Award at Airtel (India); Learning Award for knowledge transfer and Enterprise Award for intrapreneurship at Unilever Indonesia; 10 different awards at Wika (Indonesia). Measurable returns from KM initiatives at Infosys (India); positive feedback on outputs/benefits of KM at Goldsun (Vietnam). Mix of informal and formal communication modes to get employee and customer buy-in at Qian Hu (Singapore). Physical spaces for interactions at SCG Paper (Thailand); redesigning library furniture and interior at Bank Negara Malaysia. A caring leadership is important in promoting a motivational organizational culture at JTC Corporation (Singapore). A survey of KM success factors revealed that senior management commitment ranked highest in Thailand and second in Malaysia. Employees are motivated when they learn, receive training or get support for their professional growth. CAPCO (Taiwan) set up a Multimedia Cyber College and included on-line training and certification as part of its employee evaluation and promotion processes. Praise Ground is a notable site on the company intranet of SAIT (Korea) for public compliments about exemplary KM behavior. The honor of being a coach/mentor or an acknowledged expert or knowledge champion is good for motivation and getting buy-in at SCG Paper (Thailand) and Airtel (India). Wika and Bank Indonesia have created the title of begawan (sage) for mentors. A workshop process for optimizing overlap between personal and organizational goals was tried among the KM team of the Department of Health in the Philippines. Face-to-face interaction, socialization and learning in communities of practice (CoP) were found effective in Unilever Indonesia, in SCG Paper and Siriraj Hospital (Thailand), and in SAIT (Korea). To sustain employee interest in KM, Bank Negara Malaysia uses study visits or attachments, benchmarking projects and cross-functional teams. Rewards and recognition are important. So too are measurement tools, because when everyone sees the numbers go up, of course, the good performers become more motivated. A mix of informal and formal means of communication may be used to arrive at customer and employee buy-in. There is also the solution of providing physical spaces to encourage interactions and knowledge exchange. A leader who understands KM, models KM and lives and breathes KM can be a strong motivating factor. If the lower-level people can see that their leader is an exemplar in KM, it becomes very easy for them to follow. But if there is just a formal directive from the CEO without a corresponding visible personal action, it may be
5 counterproductive. So, support or sponsorship from senior management is essential. This support can include budgetary allocations to support the KM initiative. Training and continuing opportunities for professional growth can motivate a knowledge worker to stay longer in a company. The Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) has a very interesting mechanism. Praise Ground is where someone will write on the intranet about someone who has shown exemplary KM behavior. The praised person will then praise another person, and the praising process goes around. I feel this process of peer-to-peer public compliments is applicable to many Asian cultures. Acknowledging, recognizing and bestowing the honor of being a mentor or expert work well, too. Workshop processes to maximize the overlap between personal goals and organizational goals are another way to generate personal energy for or interest in organizational KM. Many case studies describe the efficacy of face-to-face interaction, socialization and learning. The case studies and the national reports reveal a shift going on among the case study organizations, a shift from concern with just productivity and quality management to one of continuing interest in productivity and quality management plus a new and additional concern for KM and innovation. This brings us back to the question: what is a coherent framework that can embrace both productivity and quality management and knowledge management? How do organizations move towards KM or towards productivity-plusinnovation in a smooth and coherent fashion because they see the interrelationship of the two? This is very important because there are already many experts in productivity and quality management. If they can see that what they are doing is very much related to KM in some fashion, it will become easy for them to move into becoming KM experts. This is demonstrated by organizations that are undergoing this shift. I conclude with a very important quotation from APO Secretary-General Takenaka, which shows that APO is also going through a paradigm shift, from productivity alone to productivity-plus-innovation: The days when incremental or continuous improvement preoccupied corporate managers are over. It is to innovation and breakthroughs that those managers have turned their attention. For achieving innovation, the most relevant tool is no longer quality control or quality management. It is KM in its broadest sense, which includes value creation or knowledge creation, that is the most relevant. 1 I anticipate that innovation is going to be a very important byword in APO for the next few years. 1 Shigeo Takenaka, Opening Remarks, International Productivity Conference 2007: Knowledge Management From Brain to Business, January 2007, Bangkok, Thailand.
